Find out if it works with the 'nv' driver. I mostly need to know if that driver will work as-is or whether it needs any other file. You can find out about this by examining the Xorg log file at:
/var/log/Xorg.0.log.

no such file created

-- it will report if it tried to load something that is missing.
Also, if 'nv' was successfully chosen, then /etc/X11/xorg.conf will have it, as per your previous post

# Uncomment this to disable the <Crtl><Alt><Fn> VT switch sequence
# (where n is 1 through 12). This allows clients to receive these key
# events.

# Option "DontVTSwitch"

# Enables mode switching with xrandr
# There is a report that this can cause Xorg not to work on some
# video hardware, so default is commented-out...
# but i want to use it in xorgwizard so leave on...

Lobster,
Oops, sorry, I made a mistake in my instructions. You needed to have the 'xorg_xorg_base' and 'xorg_xorg_servers' packages also installed.

Well, I'll put the 'nv' driver into the 'xorg_xorg_servers' package, so you can test the next release of Dingo and find out if the nv driver works okay, without having to install anything extra._________________http://bkhome.org/news/

Lobster, excellent! I've been stingy, only putting in X servers that I have tested, now also the 'nv' driver. So, /usr/X11R7/lib/xorg/modules/drivers now has these (in the xorg_xorg_servers PET package):

i740, intel, neomagic, nv, sis, trident, vesa.

Anyone else want their Xorg server included for the next Dingo release?

Note, if Xorg cannot find a specific server for the video hardware, it falls back to 'vesa', but that lacks hardware-acceleration, meaning your display will be a bit sluggish -- which you might not notice on a fast CPU.

I think that vesa is sufficient for those of us "blessed" (!) with an ATi card that needs their propriety driver. But is there a solution to this screen resolution conundrum?

Before installing fglrx (via MU's 3DCC) all Puppies I have tried behave the same: the video probe detects that the correct resolution is 1440x900, it buils xorg.conf correctly but then displays at 1024x768!

Is this inevitable? Or is there something that might improve it?

The fact that things are bigger than they should be isn't as big an issue as the impact that the wrong aspect ratio has. I appreciate that until the correct driver is used that there'll be no acceleration, but looking right out of the box would be a real winner.

help page that works with and without javascript

In the help page I have converted all the selection items to link anchors so that when javascript is not available they can be seen. When js is avaialble then it converts the anchors into a selection control as the original help page had. It works in opera, seamonkey, netsurf, dillo, elinks.

Elinks is now much more advanced than elinks-0.11.1.pet. Could some kind soul make a pet please.
